Strategies to Advancing Your Career with Katie Schwertz

If you are just starting your career or if you have been in your position for a while and are wondering what’s next, our first Women in the Workforce event is for you.

  • How to negotiate a raise or promotion

This will be a discussion with the audience and questions will be encouraged.
